Hi Margaret, thanks for your help. I will give it a shot now and let you know how I get on with it.

Microsoft really gave accessibility a serious thought obviously when developing Outlook Express. Anyway thanks again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margaret Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2007 7:32 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Fixing Mislabeled Graphic Re: AMessage StatusinOEAdvanced Find J 7.1
